Sorry, I mean functions not classes. Well, actually, one is a class and another is a function. So when the script (its a free game btw) runs, it instantiates the first class and somewhere in the middle of processing the first class, I need to call a function as a separate thread, I also want to wait for the function to complete and I was wondering how python handles the thread of this function? Does it die when the function completes? Anyway, I know it sounds silly to have 2 threads when I can do it with one, but Im using wx to render opengl objects using pygame. So it has to be a separate thread, otherwise wx wont play nice. Is there a simple example of how I can do this? And as for finance, the source for the game is free, but it isnt free to play on my server. How does that sound?
Thanks

I'm confused trying to understand your requirements too. "run a class?"
Threads execute code, it's easier to think of them as *functions* that are executed at the same time (or almost). So you have a function A that runs first, and creates a second thread that will execute function B. Then A will wait for B to finish. What do you want to do in A while it's waiting? Nothing? Then why to use a second thread? Or is it a graphical interfase? GUI libraries like wxPython, Qt and others have specific ways to execute backgroung tasks while keeping the user interface responsive - you should tell us which one you're using in that case.

I don't mean to be impertinent, but are you making any cents with the
assignment?  Both free-ers and workers come in here.  I am a free-er
who has reason to doubt that money-driven programs get stuck at that
kind of ambiguity.  I hold that money keeps you out of that mess.

However, there are a number of things we can do to help, but as I, per
se, am only one person, I may not give you the best advice to start
with.  How do you find the 'threading.py' docs?
